Description

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to load suits for training muscles in the process of performing sports exercises or when performing daily activities and actions.

Further in the description, the abbreviation “TKNN” can be used instead of the phrase “training suit with a directed load”.

Patent RU2225736 is known from the prior art, which describes a training suit made of two layers in which the lower layer is made of elastic material. The differences between the stated solution are that:

- Tracksuit with directional load (TKNN) has elastic elements located in the places where the increase in load is most required;

- TKNN is able to provide better heat exchange between the body and the surrounding space;

- TKNN does not lead to overheating of the body due to the large number of layers;

- TKNN provides more free movement.

Known patent GB2445915 describes a suit in which resistance to the muscles is created by elastic bands that run continuously throughout the suit. Differences from the stated solution are that:

- TKNN has elastic elements only in those places where an increase in load is most required;

- TKNN provides more free movement;

- TKNN provides for the possibility of changing the position of elastic elements in order to regulate the load;

- TKNN provides for the possibility of tighter fastening of the suit in order to prevent displacement of elastic elements relative to the load zones.

Known patent US 10065065 describing a suit with weighting elements (weights, other weight), which increases the load on the human body. However, such a suit does not have a targeted effect on the muscles. Differences from the stated solution are that:

- TKNN has elastic elements and does not use a load;

- TKNN has a targeted effect on muscle groups;

- TKNN provides more free movement.

Known invention US2014200118, which describes a suit with weighting elements. Differences from the stated solution are that:

- TKNN has elastic elements and does not use a load;

- TKNN has a targeted effect on muscle groups;

- TKNN provides more free movement.

Known invention US2019289934, which describes the design of an exoskeleton designed to enhance muscle strength. Differences from the stated solution are that:

- TKNN is aimed not at a momentary increase in muscle strength, but at training muscles, which will lead to their constant strengthening.

The closest solution is patent RU2417809, which describes a suit for increasing the load on muscles, which is a complex system of shoulder straps, pelvic girdle, hip girth, stirrups, elastic links, strain-dynamic sensors.

Differences from the stated solution are that:

- The design of the TKNN is more simple;

- TKNN can be used on a daily basis without attracting attention;

- TKNN has elastic elements located in places where an increase in load is most required, and these elements are not interconnected by ties (but can intersect and touch each other);

- TKNN has various ways of installing and adjusting elastic elements.

The technical result of the claimed invention is to create a training suit adapted for everyday wear and having elements for increasing the physical load on individual muscles or muscle groups with the ability to adjust this load.

The technical result is achieved through the use of individual elastic or spring elements (or their combination), located on a light training suit only in areas of the body, where an effect (in the form of an increase in load) on the muscles can be exerted. In this case, the regulation of the load on the muscles is carried out by increasing and decreasing the length of the elastic elements.

Particular cases of manufacturing a structure are:

- Separate application of the structure, in which only part of the training suit is separately applied;

- Creation of a separate TKNN design, in which parts of the suit can be used together and / or separately;

- Using springs of various shapes instead of elastic elements, both open and closed, performing the same functions;

- The use of other methods of load regulation, such as velcro, etc.

- Application of the described method of increasing the load on the muscles of the neck and / or feet.

The following elements are shown in the images of the directional training suit:

1. Suit material

2. Axillary elastic elements

3. Elastic bend of the elbow

4. Elbow elastic

5. Lumbar elastic elements

6. Elastic leg bend

The elastic elements used in the directional training suit are divided into two groups:

I - Load elements in normal state. These are elements (3, 6, 10) that prevent the person from assuming the usual posture of a standing person (legs and back are straight, arms are straight). Thus, these elements force the person to apply force for normal walking and maintaining a standing posture and have an effect even when the person is inactive.

II - Load elements in action. These are elements (2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9) that exert a load when performing a certain action (raising an arm, bending an arm or leg, squatting, turning or tilting the body). Thus, when performing any action, these elements exert an additional load on the muscles of the body.

In a general sense, the elements of group I always work when straightening the arms, legs, trunk, since straightening the limbs leads to stretching of the elastic element and obtaining the corresponding load.

Group II elements generally work in a similar way. Performing actions, movements leads to stretching of the corresponding elastic elements, which in turn leads to an increase in the load on the muscles located or associated with the zone of location of these elements, which causes an increase in the endurance of these muscles and their strengthening.

The individual elastic elements of the directional training suit work as follows:

The axillary element (2) stretches, increasing the load when the arm is raised.

The elbow bend (3) stretches when the person extends the arm.

The elbow element (4), on the other hand, does useful work and increases the load when bending the arm.

The lumbar elements (5) are designed to increase the load when turning the torso relative to the legs.

The leg bend elements (6) stretch, increasing the load on the muscles when straightening the legs relative to the trunk.

The knee elements (7) work similarly to the elbow elements (3), increasing the load when bending the legs.

The scapular element (8) stretches and increases the load as the shoulders move forward relative to the body.

The dorsal element (9) is designed to increase the load when bending the trunk forward.

The knee bending element (10) is designed to increase the load when straightening the legs.

It is supposed to make a training suit from a lightweight, breathable material, but it should be noted that for the structure to work properly and to distribute the load adequately at the locations of the elastic elements, it is necessary to prevent the movement of elastic elements across the body area by securely fixing them in the necessary parts of the body.

Fixation is possible in three ways:

1) Using the main fabric of the suit made of tight-fitting material with low deformation properties.

2) Use of belts (11) or other fastening devices allowing to reduce the number of folds and to keep the material (1) taut in the areas of elastic elements. Moreover, this method is most preferable in the case of a separate suit.

3) Combining the upper part of the suit, the lower part of the suit and the toe part of the suit into a single whole, while moving up vertically will be prevented by the socks of the suit, and the shoulders will prevent moving down vertically. But this method requires careful selection of the suit size for a particular person and does not provide protection against horizontal displacement of elastic elements.

The most optimal should be the combination of all methods, since the tight-fitting material will protect the elements from horizontal displacement and give a small opportunity for error in size, the use of belts is permissible in the wrist area to prevent displacement of the suit sleeves, and the combination of parts of the suit into a single whole will protect elastic elements from other negative movements, which together will give a reliable and stable load on the necessary muscle groups.

While it is permissible to sew on elastic elements without the possibility of further adjustment, over time it may be necessary to increase the load on the elastic elements due to their stretching or in order to increase the load on the previously trained muscles. It is assumed that the increase in the load can be made by increasing the specified length of the elastic elements, while it is possible to use several methods or a combination thereof.

For example, Fig. 6 (using the example of the back elastic element (9)) shows a method in which the increase in the length of the elastic element is provided by unfastening and moving the elastic element to a higher level of the buttons (13) with further fastening. Thus, the elastic element is stretched and increases the load on the muscles of a person, since with even greater stretching, even more muscular effort will be required. In this case, the use of buttons-buttons is possible.

Fig. 7 shows a method for increasing the load of an elastic element by moving the buckle (14). The displacement of the elastic element will result in the need to apply more force to stretch it during the action.

Figure 8 shows a method for securing an elastic element using a zipper (15). Moreover, this implies the possibility of placing several fasteners (15) at different levels to increase the load, according to the example of using buttons (13).

Design features:

1. In the structure, it is possible to use elements that stretch (and, therefore, perform work) both with a simple straightening of the body, and those elements that work only when an action is performed.

2. In addition to elastic elements, which should be understood as a material, a part of a material, or a complex of materials that are capable of stretching in a structure, it is also possible to use springs that have similar characteristics. In this case, it is possible to use springs tension, torsion and others in the open state or in the closed state (when in a kind of shell), both separately from the elastic elements, and together in combination with them.

3. In addition to buttons (13), fasteners (15) and buckles (14), it is possible in the future to use other methods to increase the load from the elastic element. These can be velcro fasteners, adhesives and other, as yet unknown, elements and methods.

4. It is possible to install additional elastic elements throughout the space of the suit, as well as in the area of the feet (most likely the element will be included in the I-group), as well as in the neck area (most likely such an element will work when nodding or turning the head).

5. Interferences may occur when using multidirectional elastic elements, some of which are designed to resist straightening (3, 10), while others, on the contrary, resist bending (4, 7). In this case, it is necessary to take into account which muscles are doing the work and at what moment and, if necessary, exclude the work of individual elements, unfastening them or weakening them depending on the desired final result of the training.

6. Although belts (11) are intended to be used in the design, it should be borne in mind that they can be replaced by other fasteners, which can be tight elastic bands, ropes, etc. The main task of these fasteners is to prevent the movement of parts of the suit, but they must be used with caution, since with a strong tightening, it is possible to pinch some of the vessels on the human body.

The solution of the previously described problems is facilitated by the location of elastic elements in the zones of bending of the limbs and rotation of the body or its parts, which makes it possible to make the main material of the suit comfortable for everyday wear, the use of fasteners and buttons, fasteners and / or buckles, which makes it possible to regulate the load from the elastic element ...
